After reading some of the answers (thanks!), I realized that I have an
ambiguity in the description of my problem.
What happens is that the GUEST (Win XP) maxes out its processor (as reported
by the WinXP task manager) on Intel, but works fine on AMD.
The host (*Ubuntu 10.04), on the other hand, seems unaffected and runs OK on
either brand.
Again, THANKS! :)

Question: does your particular Intel CPU have the "VTx" hardware
virtualization extensions?
A lot of the lower-end AMD chips have AMD's equivelent, "AMD-x". Way
too many lower-end Intel chips don't, even when they're in the same
price range or even above the AMD chips that do.
I have a low-grade Intel "Pentium dual-core" chip that lacks VT-x.
Drives me nuts.

The lack of VT-x will slow you down, but it shouldn't kill you in and of
itself. Which processes in task manager are the hogs? Windows Search 4.0
can eat it up. I uninstall that when I see it.
